A Twelfth Night Hearth-warming

Kate Lynch and son Sean Randall rented a house in Tacoma, Washington, and moved on December 1, 2001. Because both Kate and Sean were visiting family in two different places (Virginia and Arizona) for Christmas, they decided to celebrate Christmas together and with friends on January 6, 2002 - 12th Night - officially the last day of the Christmas season.

Warming by the hearth are, from left: Erica Hendrickson, Marcia Henning, and Sandy Cagle.

Visiting friends included Susie Elwanger,

Jill Hanks, and Donn Moyer.

Paula Smith, Kate's supervisor, made the beautiful wreath out of dozens of glass ornaments.

She's talking to Kate's friend, Sam Cagle. Paula and Kate work for the Washington State

Department of Health, Division of Drinking Water.

Sean spent time playing computer games with buddy Eric Hendrickson

(Eric's mom, Erica, was in the first picture).

One of the rare moments our dog Padmé was found sitting still.

She was waiting for a dog biscuit. Good woofie!

OK...she DOES look like Cujo, especially with those spacey

eyes from the camera flash.
